Heart Of Steel — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Heart Of Steel is a large Heroes of Might and Magic III map measuring 108 by 108 tiles, with an underground level and a Shadow of Death version requirement. It is designed for four players, two of whom are computer-only, and at most two human players can take part, split into two teams. The map is set at the Impossible difficulty. Red and Blue play Dungeon, Green plays Castle and Orange plays Inferno. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and the game is lost if the 112-day limit runs out. About 44 percent of the map is water, with rock, subterranean ground and lava making up most of the rest. Notable features include two Minotaur Kings and two Minotaur stacks wandering the map, the Ring of Infinite Gems, the Sword of Hellfire and Targ of the Rampaging Ogre placed as artifacts, and a set of mines and creature banks.
